25 days of Christmas 2
Seventh: Seven unwise decisions
When Starscream started up from recharge that cycle, he knew something would go haywire with the day.
That was how every single day started up like. More often than not it was right and he had a slag of a day. So it was just a way to assure himself by not thinking positive things. And if something good happened, a raid finally going right, the day would seem glorious.
A glorious day fitted him, the next Decepticon leader to be. And when he became leader, he could wake up and not think to himself that the day would have some flaw in it. He would make sure there wasn't unglorious days.
This day's challenge, however, was highly unexpected and something he was completely unfamiliar with.
Purple walls gone… multi-colored.
Starscream snorted, dismissing it for now as a trick of still slowly booting optics.
However, having to stop suddenly in shock in front of a blocked doorway made him finally take in the problem.
Why was there a huge, inflatable red human monster blocking the doorway?
Crimson optics narrowing, Starscream mindfully poked to the thing, only to see it swing back softly before bobbing back in place, blocking the way. Sparking annoyance in the seeker.
Roughly hitting it, he watched as the thing moved out of the way and slowly sank to the floor, making a strange hissing sound at Starscream. Apparently, it was very unhappy with the Decepticon, the seeker just grunting as he was finally able to step into the energon stocks for his ration of the day.
Deciding to move to the brig's monitor room to see how the isolation project of the Autobot was going, he moved through the normally quite busy main hallways that passed the small recreation room, monitor room and Megatron's throne room – where most cons were most of the time.
One often heard yell stopped him in front of the throne room.
"Starscream!"
Turning, the seeker stared at Megatron who was walking angrily towards him, his optics barely managing to catch sight of the absurd spectacle that had been… was Megatron's throne. He had no idea what those green things were doing on it, or what the apparent colorful plastic sphere attached to it, the red pointy had thingy were, but in any case, they were there.
And Starscream knew he had nothing to do with it.
"I'm innocent!"

"So that how ya got that dent," Jazz said almost surprised, indicating at his own side of his helm.
"Yeah, Starscream wasn't fond of getting blamed for that," Skywarp snickered, handing the promised energon cube to the Autobot. He didn't care if it was a bad idea to prank his grumpy comrades.
A/N: Hey, reference from first 25 days of Christmas, can you see it?
Anything new today..? Nothing, other than I'm in a good mood and this was the chapter that sparked the idea. And I got the idea for this chapter January 2010!
Oh, and hey, you got some awesome ideas, or suggestion to how I write cons better? (not 'trained' at that)? :D
Also, got a long anonymous review yesterday and more! Reviews make me happy writer =D
Please review, enjoy and Merry Christmas!
